For interests of this thread, here are this year's top 10 players in order on the ESPN Player Rater used in Fantasy statistics. They're calculated on the basis of who produces the most total out of 8 statistical categories: fg%, ft%, rebounds, assists, 3s, steals, blocks, points. I'll post my own personal top 10 list in the next post.

1 Shawn Marion,
2 Kobe Bryant,
3 Elton Brand,
4 LeBron James,
5 Kevin Garnett,
6 Gilbert Arenas,
7 Dirk Nowitzki,
8 Steve Nash
9 Dwyane Wade,
10 Ray Allen,

My own subjective list, mostly based on this year's regular season performance:

1 Lebron
2 Kobe
3 Wade
4 Nowitski
5 Brand
6 Arenas
7 Garnett
8 Nash
9 Duncan
10 Marion

All you did was replace Allen with Duncan...

For me, leaving Marion was difficult. But Parker has been the team's MVP and the consistent force this year. And Carmelo has been the consistent force for Denver.

 

[Perfection]

1. James Singleton
2. James Jones
3. Jerome James
4. Mike James
5. LeBron James
6. James Posey
7. Jim Jackson
8. Antawn Jamison
9. Jamal Crawford
10. Jamaal Tinsley

Quite obvious,isn't it.


I can't make the top ten list since i only watched the Cavs all season,unless everybody thinks that it is ok that i list all of the Cavaliers roster.

No, I changed the order too. Anyway it's a top ten list, everyone should come up with at least 7 of the same names I'd imagine. Yes Carmelo has been good, but I don't know whether he's better than Bosh. They're both good, but I don't know whether I could knock somebody out of the top 10 for either one of them. I guess Marion, but he had a great regular season.

You're right. The 'elite' players pretty much stood out this year.

Any my mistake, I didn't realize you ranked. I just listed them.

Yeah, the ESPN list is ranked too. So the most productive player this year over 8 categories was Shawn Marion. Andrei Kirilenko would have been in the top ten of that list as well, but he missed a lot of games in the early part of the season and finished about 18th overall.
